Johno Posted July 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 Thanks guys :P Yeah i been driving it, done about 40km so far. I bought new head bolts and torqued them 24, 40, 60Nm cos thats what the gasket set said. Another one i heard was first stage, 29 Nm then 90 Deg + 90 Deg which would be a heck load tighter but my mate said just folow the specs on the VRS kit. I got a cardboard box and every nut, bolt and shim was placed on the box so i know where each one went back. Shims and buckets were labeled too One prob i have is oil is still abit dirty. Changed oil and filter twice now and the cap is still milky. I'll change it again for the 3rd time tonight and see how i go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johno Posted July 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2010 Found out i just needed to clean the crap out of the oil cap and now its all sweet :P Next thing to do is start making the car look better. I'm going to start by colour coding a few things like mirrors and door handles just wish i had a garage so i could put the heater on and stay out of this shit wheather and still work on the car :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
